When tho old fair ground properly was

disappointment that It was not preserved

old standby for circus grounds, play
grounds and pleasure generally was no

circus site within reach Of the city seemed
a serious blow at their inallenablo right 10

ever, that fears Of this character were pre-
mature. At tho sale Of the lots the
Wheeling & Belmont Bridge Company
purchased a large tract Of land lying near
the Back River bridge, comprising two OF
the squares laid out BY the commissioners.
The company already held q small piece
Of land adjoining this. Recently the re-.

Names Moral Stage-Driver.

A large number of stage lines raiiate
from Skowhegan. The longest route
is from Skowhegan to the Forks, fifty
miles. Irving Young, who drives it,
says the Lewiston (Me.) Joarnal, is
the best whip in Maine.
Young used to be driver He is
six feet three inches high, 80 years old,
a rough, weather-beaten fellow with a
sledge-hammer fist and soft heart He
is noted for his wonderful aim with the
whip-lash and for his happy way of
managing the loads of half-drunken
log-drivers that he sometimes carries
in the spring and fall. You would as
soon think Of q Texas cowboy distri-
buting tracts as of this tough stager
adopting a moral code for his passen-
gers; but he has one, nevertheless, and
suffers no violations of it. He forbids
all profane and indecent language on
his stage, and the drivers have to mind
the rule when they are abroad. I'D
just as lief my wife would ride to the
Forks on his stage as not, no matter
how rough a crowd he might have on, :"
said Skowhegan admirer of ''Iry" to
the writer. Young used to have row
with his passengers once in awhile, but
his reputation is now so well estab-
lished that he seldom has any trouble.
An incident that occurred few years
ago illustrates his control over brawl-
ers. a crew of them rode with him
and became too noisy. When he re-
monstrated they grew saucy and
seemed indisposed to mind him. After
very little talk he pulled up and jumped
down from his box.
Gentlemen said he, with mock re-
spect, Il thought | was the driver of
this stage, but [ find I've got to see
whether | am or not. [ 90 in for letting
the best man drive" He pulled. off his
coat and added: I'm ready to take
you one at a time and see who is the
best man"
you're the best man, Irv."
''Oh, go ahead and drive, Irv.'
This was all the fellows said in an
swer to his challenge. He gathered up
the reins and had no more trouble with
his crew.

Facts About Fin gers.

White hands with rosy palms, so be-
loved of our grandmothers, have gone
out Of fashion.
The American hand is smaller than
the English hand, but the nails are not
as handsome
It is said that people with magma
ton are apt to have long, taper fin
gers and beautiful fingernails
The good-natured critics are said to
possess small, well-shaped nails, and
their handwriting is somewhat angu-
lar.
The American nail suffers from the
dryness of our climate, as foreign
picture painted on panel suffers from
the same cause.
Diplomacy has long supple hand
and a beautifully-kept finger-nail The
handwriting of diplomatist looks like
snake crawling away.
An aptitude for criticism is shown
among people who bite their nails
These people are cynical and severe,
uncharitable and bitter; they write a
small, cramped ilegible hand
The Chinese have finger-nails so
long that they could write with them.
me LendclCy VI UHe ShI1eoe Hdll, which
does not easily break, would indicate
that they have more lime in their bones
than we have.
The English nails are almost univer-
sally rosy and shell-like, and, cut to a
rounded, slightly tapering point, kept
always scrupulously clean. The skin
at the base is pushed back to show the
ONYX, little white half-moon.
The onyx of the tinger-nails is care
fully cultivated and polished by the
Creoles Of New Orleans to show that
they have no black blood in their veins
No matter how fair the complexion,
the valuable sign of pure blood is
wanting to the Octoroon if the onyx
is clouded.-NeaO York Mail and EI-

Senator Foote'S Wig.

John H. Hale was most incorrigi
BILE wag, and he delighted in making
Senator Foote of Mississippi, who in
an unguarded moment had threatened
to hang him as an Abolitionist, a butt
for his jokes. One day, after a visit
to New York, Senator Foote came smil-
ingly in and took his seat at his desk,
rather astonishing the other Sena-
tors as his previously bald pate
was covered by fine, curly black wig.
Up rose Mr.. Hale and demanded a
special committee to examine the
credentials .'of the youthful upstart
who had assumed Senator Foote's like
ness and chair" Senator Foote rose
up. and bowling politely, convulsed the
Senate by quickly removing the wig
and han ging it on his umbrella with
the observation, with this motion IN
my part, which is quite in order, des-
pite my illustrious colleagues, the
committee is not necessary" There
was round OF applause. Ben: Per-
lea PO0re.

LincoIn's Self-Evident Truth.

General Robert P. Kennedy, in his
Memorial Day GRAFTON at Dayton,
gave this pleasant anecdotc of himself
and Abraham Lincoln:
II once heard Abraham Lincoln be-
fore he became President, standing
before the great multitude, tall, gaunt,
with his long arms swinging listlessly
at his sides, swaying backward and
forward like mighty oak. A part Of
his address [ quote from memory, at
ter lapse of nearly thirty years:
g I hold this truth to be self-evi-
dent: What is right in South Carolina
is right in Connecticut; what is wrong
in Connecticut is wrong in South Car
DINA. | hold human slavery to be
wrong in Connecticut and eternally
wrong in South Carolina.
''After lapse of thirty years that
sentence still rings like crystal bell.
1t has been emblazoned in letters of
living light. and become a part of the
grandest period of our history; made
eternal by the sign manual of the mar
tyred President affixed to the immor-
tai Declaration of Emancipation.
Never but once again did | see Abra-
ham Lincoln. On the battlefield oil
Antietam, after the fearful storm OF
war had swept over it, he came to re-
view that splendid Army of the Poto-
mac. 1t had been my fortune, by
chance of accident of war, young as
was, to be temporarily placed in
charge of the troops on the extreme
left of the army during part of the
battle; and when he passed | was
called to the front and presented to
him as the youngest commander OF
the Army of the Potomac. The great
man bent over me, and kindly taking
my hand, said:
. The young men of this Nation
must preserve the unity of the land
and the liberty of the people.
Though | should live into the cen
turtles, the proudest moment Of my
life was the moment when Abraham
| Lincoln clasped the hand OF my young
manhood and smiled down upon me
like q great benediction.

When Barnum Paid for Drinks.

At recent dinner by the way, a
story was told of Barnum. He is a
temperance man now" said one of the
party, ''but [ remember when he set
up the drinks for distin guished crowd.
He didn't do it out of pure good ma
ture, either. 1t was twenty-six years
ago, at the Profile House in the Fran
COMA mountains Barnum was feel
ing pretty smart in those days, and he
had been playing his jokes and cute
tricks rather freely about the house.
lot of guests sat on the piazza of the
hotel. Among them were Commodore
Vanderbilt, w. Fl. Vanderbilt, another
of the family, Governor Gilmore's son,
John Hyde, the artist, Barnum, and
number of others, including myself.
Young Gilmore was a lively young
chap then, but he has deteriorated and
become a minister since. Gilmore put
up the job and let us all into it. He
twisted the talk around to physical
prowess, and got Barnum to bra@ about
how fast he could run. Across the
plateau in front of the hotel was rail
to which horses were tied. Gilmore
proposed that we all start from the
PItLIAAtl w dill 6tllt UIldU UllC
last man to touch the rail with his hand
pay for the drinks for the crowd. Every
body agreed and we got into line, all
except the Commodore who sat on the
piazza and gave the word. P. I. was
lively and confident, and waited impa
tiently for the word. The Commodore
said Got and away went the greatest
show on earth like Jumbo in sprint
race. He took the lead right away
Everybody else pretended to run for
all that was in them, but took care not
to get ahead of P. t. The Snowman
got there in great style, put his hand
on the rail, and turned round in tri-
umph. There stood the rest of the
crowd i'll line behind him, not one of
them touching the rail. When he
heard the Commodore roar, he took in
the situation. He was the only one
who put his hand on the rail at all.
Barnum set them up, but he was so
mad that he couldn't tell a plausible
fairy tale for week. "-Albd7ay Jour
